March 5 report on confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the campus community
Seven students and one employee have tested positive for COVID-19. Three tests were conducted on campus, and five were conducted off campus. Three of the students are isolating on campus, and the other five people are isolating off campus.
Fifty cases are currently classified as active in our campus community. Fifteen students are presently in quarantine on campus, and 22 students are in isolation on campus.
There have been 82 students and 22 employees in our on-campus population with confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 since Jan. 1, 2021.
You can stay up-to-date via our COVID-19 dashboard, which includes tallies of current active cases, total cases last week, total recoveries, on-campus testing statistics and positivity rates, and information about students quarantining and isolating on campus.
This dashboard does not include information about positive cases among students taking online courses from home, or employees who are telecommuting and not coming to campus, as any such cases should not pose an on-campus health risk.
We will continue reporting new active cases of COVID-19 in our campus community (defined as students or employees who have been on campus and may have infected others) in the Daily Digest email newsletter and on the COVID-19 dashboard, Monday – Friday throughout the spring 2021 semester.
